Frequently asked questions

How do I reach Salzburg’s landmarks by public transport?

Open any landmark from the guide — its page shows the nearest stops and a planner that finds a route from your location to it, with lines, transfers and departure times based on the timetable.

Which landmarks does the guide cover?

Salzburg’s best-known landmarks — Hohensalzburg Fortress, Salzburg Cathedral (Salzburger Dom), Mozart's Birthplace (Mozarts Geburtshaus), Mirabell Palace & Gardens, Getreidegasse — each with a 3D view of the location and directions on how to get there by public transport.

What is the 3D view of a landmark?

An interactive 3D model of the location (buildings and surroundings from OpenStreetMap data) that rotates and tilts. It is not a photo but a graphical view of the place, so you can recognise the area before you set off.

How do I plan a tour of several landmarks?

Use the Journey Planner for a public transport route to each landmark; every landmark page also lists the nearest stops with arrival estimates, so you can easily chain several points into one tour.
